[quote:Anonymous Coward 78155957:MV80MjIwOTc4Xzc2NzgyODc0XzI4OTJFNjc2] I feel bad for them but if it wasn't these people it would have been somebody else. Stupid people with large amount of money are doomed to be screwed out of it, it's a natural fact. [/quote]

Police say the scam started seven years ago, when they tried to buy gold from Africa.
After getting strung along for years and milked of money, they are just now reporting it to authorities.
Neighbor Anna Conley says she's seen her fair share of fraud as a banker.
"There's elder abuse, where folks come in and scam elderly people," she said.
She says she wasn't surprised to hear about a scam that cost a Roswell couple $500,000.
"They're naive and they take things for granted," she said.
Must be nice to have 500K to just blow!
